Until 2006 the performance of confocal Raman spectroscopy depth profiling was typically described and modeled through the application of geometrical optics, including refraction at the surface, to… (More)

We have previously developed protocols for the application of Raman microspectroscopy to studies on painted textiles. We have further assessed the value of such microanalyses in the identification of… (More)

This study considers confocal Raman spectroscopy as a means of identifying a range of synthetic polymeric adhesives used in textile conservation. Many of the synthetic adhesives applied to support… (More)

A series of semicrystalline polymers has been prepared through morphological control. Each of these has an identical refractive index but a different, well-defined, scattering behavior. From existing… (More)
